OK, thanks, though it sounds as if there's enough in recent rpm to
kludge it, and it's not likely to get much interest.

OK, but the application isn't specifically mass provisioning and
configuration.  It needs to be applicable to somewhat-random,
more-or-less autonomous existing installations which are already
expected to pull (rather problematically-written) packages from a
